Sharkquake would have been perfect because they could have set it in Florida and modeled it after Tremors (earthquake causes massive weakening in Florida's already sinking land, underground rivers, instead of sinkholes forming you get sharks leaping up through people's lawns. Also aftershocks causing streets to…

Why would they send Maggie back to get the missing kid, anyway? Why not the guy who runs the place?

I, like many, loved Sarah Newlin's failed neck-snap attempt. I like to think she expected it to work because she's seen it in those awful violent films that warp children's minds and train them to kill.

I second this "Fuck you, The Killing", but only for fucking waiting until EVERYONE STOPPED WATCHING to get its shit together and deliver a decent season-long mystery.

The most interesting thing about The Locket for me, on initial watch, is the sort of subtle indicators it gives about the chip in Crichton's brain. It's not going to kill him or stop working or drive him insane out of spite, it's going to hang out in his head, forever, gently pushing its own agenda. It's Scorpius…

*SPOILERS*

The Kosh part of the episode didn't do much for me the first time through—his death was interesting as a concept, but in practice he was seemingly such a non-entity part of the monolithic Vorlon empire that losing Kosh in particular didn't really mean much.

Runaway Train

They can't do this. What will Leslie's e-mail word cloud look like now?

I swear, back in the Geocities days of the Internet, I'd read the Sci-Fi was planning to relaunch Quantum Leap with a pilot movie starring Sam's daughter.

I have never forgiven this show for the ending.

This episode has me convinced Genoa is going to wind up being a ploy by a bunch of anonymous Internet people. They fake up some tweets, which is obviously something only nerds would do, what with the Internet of it all.

When are the Simpsons coming to one of the streaming options, is what I want to know. Netflix, Amazon, whoever, somebody has to be willing to cough up the licensing fees. If they're finally selling them to cable, the Simpsons should be streamable.

Somebody should option the Gone YA novels. There's a series about living under a dome with staying power. And, as a bonus, everyone down to the four year-olds arming themselves with knives, clubs, and guns, fighting, and often dying. So maybe they'd have to age the cast up a bit.

Except Will was only honest with Nina in order to preserve and perpetuate a lie to the general public.

An alternate history West Wing could actually be interesting if it allowed for the people actually in charge to make different decisions, and speculate on real-world consequences. It'd also have to break from directly aping our history pretty quickly, as choices diverged, which could be extra interesting. The Newsroom…

I lost all interest in TWoP shortly after the Bravo buyout, and I certainly had my issues with it before and during the MBTV days, but I've always found it kind of amusing that Sorkin was okay with the snarky attitude and pajama people until they turned on him, and it kind of seems like he's never gotten over it.

The size of the bug that has been up Sorkin's ass since the TWoP incident will never cease to amaze me.

I'm sort of amazed how quickly Nora's passing went from slightly sad to absolutely hilarious. Erik clinging to her as she begins bleeding? Sad. The shot of Erik holding a bunch of lumpy formerly-Nora bits and wailing? Funniest thing I've seen all weekend.

Tangentially, I am baffled to learn that Different Destinations is considered a flaw in S3. I love that episode beyond reason and just assumed everyone else did too.
